RC5025F100CS Equivalent & Substitute Parts Reference

Part Overview

The RC5025F100CS is a 10 Ohm ±1% thick film chip resistor manufactured by Samsung Electro-Mechanics in the 2010 (5025 Metric) package format with 0.667W power rating. This component is classified as Active product status and features moisture-resistant construction suitable for general industrial applications. The part is ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity rating.

Substitute parts are identified based on matching electrical specifications (resistance value, tolerance, temperature coefficient, operating temperature range) and mechanical compatibility (2010 package, 2-termination configuration, identical physical dimensions). Alternative sources become necessary for supply chain optimization, inventory availability, or application-specific requirements such as automotive qualification.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility is determined by strict alignment with the following core parameters:

Electrical Compatibility Requirements:

• Resistance value: 10 Ohms (exact match required)
• Tolerance: ±1% (exact match required)
• Temperature coefficient: ±100ppm/°C (exact match required)
• Operating temperature range: -55°C ~ 155°C (exact match required)

Mechanical Compatibility Requirements:

• Package format: 2010 (5025 Metric) (exact match required)
• Physical dimensions: 0.197" L x 0.098" W / 5.00mm x 2.50mm (exact match required)
• Number of terminations: 2 (exact match required)
• Composition: Thick Film (exact match required)

Regulatory & Environmental Requirements:

• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 1 (Unlimited) (exact match required)
• ECCN: EAR99 (exact match required)
• HTSUS: 8533.21.0030 (exact match required)

All four substitute parts meet these core compatibility criteria. Variations in power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W), automotive qualification (AEC-Q200), and RoHS/REACH compliance status do not disqualify substitution but are noted for application-specific selection.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Primary Substitutes (Recommended for New Designs):

RMCF2010FT10R0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) is the preferred substitute. This part maintains Active product status, ROHS3 compliance, and REACH Unaffected designation. It provides higher power rating (0.75W) with identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Highest inventory availability (172,313 pcs) ensures supply continuity. AEC-Q200 automotive qualification extends application scope without compromising general-purpose use.

CRCW201010R0FKEF (Vishay Dale) is an alternative substitute with Active product status and ROHS3 compliance. Identical electrical and mechanical parameters to RMCF2010FT10R0. REACH Unaffected status aligns with regulatory requirements. Suitable for applications requiring Vishay Dale component qualification.

Secondary Substitutes (Conditional Use):

ERJ-12SF10R0U (Panasonic Electronic Components) carries "Not For New Designs" product status. While electrically and mechanically compatible with full ROHS3 compliance and REACH Unaffected designation, this part is restricted from new design incorporation. Use only for legacy system maintenance or replacement applications where original component sourcing is unavailable.

CRCW201010R0FKTF (Vishay Dale) exhibits RoHS non-compliant and REACH Affected regulatory status. This part is not suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH compliance verification. Substitution is restricted to legacy systems or applications with explicit regulatory exemptions.

Height Consideration:

All substitute parts exhibit maximum seated height of 0.028" (0.70mm) compared to the original RC5025F100CS at 0.026" (0.66mm). This 0.002" (0.04mm) difference is negligible for standard PCB assembly and does not affect electrical performance or mechanical fit in standard 2010 package footprints.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can RMCF2010FT10R0 directly replace RC5025F100CS in existing designs?

A: Yes. RMCF2010FT10R0 is electrically and mechanically equivalent. Identical resistance (10 Ohms), tolerance (±1%), temperature coefficient (±100ppm/°C), operating temperature range (-55°C ~ 155°C), and 2010 package dimensions ensure direct substitution. The higher power rating (0.75W vs. 0.667W) provides additional thermal margin without affecting circuit operation.

Q: What is the significance of AEC-Q200 qualification on substitute parts?

A: AEC-Q200 is an automotive industry qualification standard. All substitute parts except the original RC5025F100CS carry this certification. AEC-Q200 qualification indicates enhanced reliability testing and quality assurance suitable for automotive applications. For non-automotive applications, this qualification does not impose restrictions and provides additional assurance of component reliability.

Q: Why does ERJ-12SF10R0U carry "Not For New Designs" status?

A: "Not For New Designs" indicates the manufacturer has discontinued active development and recommends alternative parts for new circuit designs. While ERJ-12SF10R0U remains electrically and mechanically compatible, it is restricted to legacy system support and replacement applications only. RMCF2010FT10R0 or CRCW201010R0FKEF are recommended for new designs.

Q: Is the 0.002" height difference between RC5025F100CS and substitute parts significant?

A: No. The maximum seated height difference (0.026" vs. 0.028") is 0.002" (0.04mm), which is negligible for standard PCB assembly processes. Standard 2010 package footprints accommodate this variation without affecting component placement, soldering, or clearance requirements.

Q: Can CRCW201010R0FKTF be used in RoHS-compliant applications?

A: No. CRCW201010R0FKTF is explicitly marked as RoHS non-compliant with REACH Affected status. This part is not suitable for applications requiring ROHS3 compliance or REACH compliance verification. Use RMCF2010FT10R0, CRCW201010R0FKEF, or ERJ-12SF10R0U for RoHS-compliant designs.

Q: What packaging format differences exist between the original part and substitutes?

A: RC5025F100CS is supplied in bulk packaging. All substitute parts (RMCF2010FT10R0, CRCW201010R0FKEF, CRCW201010R0FKTF, ERJ-12SF10R0U) are supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) format. Tape & Reel packaging is standard for automated PCB assembly processes and does not affect component electrical or mechanical specifications.

Q: Are all substitute parts suitable for the full operating temperature range?

A: Yes. All substitute parts maintain identical operating temperature range of -55°C ~ 155°C with ±100ppm/°C temperature coefficient. Electrical performance and tolerance specifications are maintained across the entire operating temperature range for all listed substitutes.

Q: Which substitute part offers the best supply availability?

A: RMCF2010FT10R0 (Stackpole Electronics Inc) provides the highest inventory availability at 172,313 pcs. This ensures consistent supply chain access and reduces lead time risk for high-volume production requirements.
